Learning Wrap-ups products provide hands-on learning to assist with the mastery of critical math and reading skills. With their patented self-correcting features, our unique games make learning fun through the utilization of all learning senses, and by providing measurable progress.

Learning Wrap-ups: Our Story

Learning Wrap-ups are the brainchild of Marion W. Stuart. As a fourth grade teacher in 1983, she quickly discovered that her students were falling behind because they didn’t know their basic math facts. Her desire to find a learning aid to help her students master their math facts led to the creation of Learning Wrap-ups. The first Wrap-ups took untold hours to handcraft, but with them her students mastered their math facts in just a few days, and they had fun doing it! In celebration of 40 years of doing business, Learning Wrap-ups recently introduced its newest product line, My First Wrap-ups, a series designed to teach early childhood concepts.

Learning Wrap-ups products provide hands-on learning to assist with the mastery of critical math and reading skills. With their patented self-correcting features, our unique games make learning fun through the utilization of all learning senses, and by providing measurable progress.

Learning Wrap-ups have become a staple for helping children learn basic math and other critical educational skills and can be found in schools all over the world. Especially popular with homeschooling families, our products can be used with any curriculum and allow students to learn individually with minimal supervision.

AGES 8 YEARS +

Books to Empower Children (and

Their Grown-Ups)

For over 30 years, Kane Miller has specialized in publishing award-winning children's books from around the world. From fiction and fantasy, to puzzles and games, to science and tools for learning, Kane Miller books help kids explore, connect, learn, and grow.

Kane Miller Books: Our Story

In 1983, siblings Madeline Kane and Sandy Miller created Kane Miller Book Publishers to publish children’s books originating in countries other than the US in order to “bring the children of the world closer to each other”— books that would allow readers to explore not just cultural differences, but also similarities. The books they published were well received, and when Kira Lynn took over as publisher in 2001, she continued to build and strengthen the Kane Miller list.

By the time EDC acquired Kane Miller in 2008, technological advances had brought much of the world’s citizens together, and today’s children now live in an increasingly global world. But Kane Miller’s commitment to helping children figure out that world, and their place in it, hasn’t changed. We remain dedicated to publishing books that honor childhood, that enrich children’s growth and development, and that are filled with hope and possibilities.

Children deserve the best: the best art, the best writing, the best science. They deserve to have their questions answered, their feelings validated, and their agency nurtured. We believe our books both reflect and enrich the imagination, sense of humor, sense of adventure, and joyousness of childhood. Kane Miller’s books enable children to experiment with ideas, with thoughts, and with feelings, as they make their journey to adulthood.

Retailers and readers can visit Kane Miller Books at our website to discover our full frontlist and backlist, as well as explore free sales and learning resources including product information sheets, coloring and activity pages, levels, themes, awards, teacher tips, sneak peeks, and much more. We regularly share new releases, reviews, activities, videos, and additional resources, so be sure to follow us on social media (@KaneMillerBooks) to stay connected and get all the latest updates!
